Report: Blue States Automatically Registering Welfare Recipients to Vote
Breitbart ^ | 11/10/2023 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 11/10/2023 12:29:40 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Several blue states across the United States are automatically registering hundreds of thousands of residents to vote each year whenever they interact with state agencies, including welfare offices, a report from journalist John Fund details.

The report, issued by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, documents the Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) policy now imposed by 23 states and the District of Columbia. All but three of these states are blue states controlled by Democrats.

Fund authored the 2021 book Our Broken Elections: How the Left Changed the Way You Vote with The Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky.

This is illegal. The Feds are not to be part of our elections. Each state is autonomous I believe. But hey, the Feds are not following any of our laws…..and no one does a thing.

Then mail out ballots. Any ballot not returned by the voter is an automatic vote and dropped in a ballot box.

“A democracy will continue to exist up until the time voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.”

—Alexander Fraser Tytler

Madison said something similar. The Founders were geniuses in their understandings of human nature, citizens and government officials…

Deep State won’t need to buy them.

Deep State will be able to tell how they voted.

And welfare recipients will know Deep State knows.
